Airplane Explosion
Clinging to her flaming teddy.
Her mom and dad sucked into the sky.
skeletons sit in the row across from her.
ear missing, teeth shattered.
head smashed, legs crushed.
adults lied when they tell children.
traveling by airplane is safe.
five year olds and the last thing she hears is
BOOM.
